Ballance Agi-nutrients Service Centre

Ballance Agri-Nutrients Limited is one of New Zealand's leading fertiliser specialists, with manufacturing plants located in Whangarei, Mount Maunganui and Invercargill. In addition, the company owns the ammonia-urea manufacturing plant at Kapuni in Taranaki, Altum, New Zealand's third-largest fertiliser company, and Super Air, one of the country's largest agricultural aviation companies.

Ballance is a 100-percent farmer-owned co-operative, with over 18,000 shareholders throughout New Zealand. It was officially launched in 2001, the final step in a series of company amalgamations and alliances that saw regional fertiliser co-operatives come together under the umbrella of what was then Bay of Plenty Fertiliser.

Today, Ballance is a truly national company, with 700 staff located from the Far North to the Deep South. The company places a strong emphasis on delivering value to its shareholders and on the use of a scientific approach to plant nutrient management.
